Kookaburras Entertain Us at Pacific Palms Resort, Elizabeth Beach, NSW

We had a family road trip to Elizabeth Beach, NSW which is situated at Pacific Palms, approximately 20 km south of Forster. It’s about 3 and a half hours drive to the NSW North Coast. More or less 285 kilometers from our home in Inner West, Sydney. We stayed in a quiet and fabulous accommodation called Pacific Palm Resort. Much to our surprise, we scored beautiful views, relaxing environment, and friendly neighbours, I mean the real residents of Elizabeth Beach, the Kookaburras.

Discover the Pristine Beauty of Elizabeth Beach NSW

You will fall in love with Elizabeth Beach. It’s definitely a quiet beach and a family friendly beach. Locals calls it ‘lizzy’ and it is the only beach in the pacific palms which is patrolled in summer. We had fun walking on the shoreline and playing on the sand.

Justin Standley – The X Factor Australia 2012 Auditions

Justin Standley X Factor Australia 2012 Auditions

Justin Standley Justin Standley story captivated the viewers of The X Factor Australia 2012. He is 41 from Bunderberg, Queensland. Shooting two birds with one stone, he took the guts to do the The X Factor Australia 2012 auditions with high expectation that his three kids would see him on TV. He has not seen them for many years after coming out  and realized that he is a gay.

One thing that The X Factor Australia 2012 differs from other reality TV shows is the fact that they get to feature the stories of the contestants. Good or bad, it gives a boost an instant connection of  the contestant to the audience. And this exactly what happened to Justin. He chose a great song by Elton John, the popular song called Rocket Man.
